Stilletto

Do not think its stilletto. Either Olive HS or Brown water snake. Bottom is Spotted Skaapsteker.

What does the tail look like? Stilletto snakes have a very stubbly tail with a spike. Originally Posted by GH

Wayyyyyyy to big for a stiletto!!! Jislaaik, that would have been the mother of them all.
Here Johan is holding one which is already a fair size for one.

Check it's mouth for large(ish) hinged fangs. That'll be your definitive answer. Originally Posted by GH

Stilettos can get up to around 90cm'ish IIRC....if those are normal size bricks it's really not an unreasonable size. Originally Posted by Henkus

I can't see from the picture and I haven't seen the snake myself. Also not going to look for it as I have a slightly massive fear of snakes. If it was a Stiletto then it's a huge shame it was killed.
